Man are whitetails tough!

Got these pictures from my dad through an email someone sent to him. Thought I would share the pics with everyone. Just goes to show how tough these magnificant animals are.

This deer had some very uncomfortable days until he was harvested by this hunter. It is obvious that there was a fight during the rut and this deer ended up with an extra antler (embedded below the eye). You can see that the antler from the attacking deer was broke off below the base of the antler as there is still blood on the pedicel. That takes a tremendous amount of force. Pretty amazing.

These pictures made their rounds a couple years ago. I even saw a picture of the skinned head. It's actually another base growing out of or very close to the eye socket. It wasn't another deers antler broken off.
